Rafael J. Wysocki 7bed50c5ed ACPI / PM: Avoid infinite recurrence while registering power resources
There is at least one BIOS with a DSDT containing a power resource
object with a _PR0 entry pointing back to that power resource.  In
consequence, while registering that power resource
acpi_bus_get_power_flags() sees that it depends on itself and tries
to register it again, which leads to an infinitely deep recurrence.
This problem was introduced by commit bf325f9538
(ACPI / PM: Register power resource devices as soon as they are
needed).

To fix this problem use the observation that power resources cannot
be power manageable and prevent acpi_bus_get_power_flags() from
being called for power resource objects.
